This kind of thread is how we'll get through the summer. Some cracking reads there.

My family bloodline is part Scouse, part Manc, which makes for really weird factions of supporters. The way it's worked out over the years is mainly 50/50 LFC and Man U, but I've got a nephew born in London who's Arsenal, and randomly, a nephew born and bred in Warrington who's hardcore Villa.

I'm the youngest of seven kids, and I think my Gran - who, god rest her soul, is a top, top scouser, got a bit f*cked off with some of the girls wandering over to the dark (ie: Manc) side. I don't remember her influencing me too much when I was very young, but I don't half remember how happy she was when I went round her house one day in me Crown Paints-sponsored kit. Once she knew where my loyalties lay, she'd roll out all the old stories about classic players through the years.

I definitely knew I was an LFC fan as far back as nursery (which was 1982ish), but weirdly, my first memory of actually watching a match on TV as a fan was Heysel. I must have been 6 then, but after seeing and hearing what went on that day, it just wiped every previous footballing memory.

Im just a young lad at the age of 20 so compared to a lot of you my memories dont strech too far back to be honest, no liverpool fans run in the family but this is the only club I'll ever love, supported them since I can remember. I think my dad's a manc just in spite of the fact that I'm a liverpool fan (always gives a bit of an atmosphere in the house on matchdays

)

My best memory of liverpool is the treble season, the cup final mainly, that was when our never say die spirit really showed, we were getting hammered all game and never looked like we were going to win but we got two goals out of nothing. Who can forget the UEFA cup final against Alves as well?

My worst memory, like a lot of others, THAT cup final against the mancs when HE scored. devastated.

Lots of interesting stories on here too

Good thread it makes a change

I started supporting Liverpool FC since the 1986 FA Cup final. Being in Malaysia then you don't get lots of games on the telly. So, you only get the 'road to Wembley' (anyone?) games and the cup finals. So me and my uncle had the game recorded on VCR and used to watch it again & again & again...

My worst memory that I can think of at the mo. is the Cup final defeat to Wimbledon and Hillsborough.

My sweetest memory of LFC must be Istanbul 05. When you 're jumping by yourself ecstatic at 4 am on the phone with your uncle (yes, the same one in 86), it changes lives. There was also those 7 goals games vs. Newcastle and all the games beating ManU and Everton.

Leicester v Liverpool at Filbert Street,1984-85 season. We won 3-1 with goals from Rush & King Kenny. Before that it was the telly, I remember Keegan playing for Southampton against the mighty reds. My real first season going was the 86-87 season when I got my first season ticket & went to all but one of the home games. Aldo, Barnes & Beardo were the best & I could never understand why Digger could'nt reproduce his league form for England. Even after all the :censored:

with Grob I still loved him & always wanted to ignore the rumors. Liverpool in that season were the best I have ever seen & have yet to get a million miles near that sort of play. We really played "total football" then & I feel sad for the young supporters now who have to see some of the dross that passes for quality now, Paul Walsh was as good as that Ronaldo fella at scum u! Hansen was always more of a sweeper in front of the defence than a traditional defender (Woodgate comes close in style more than any in modern times). I remember we beat Notts Forrest who were managed by the legend Clough twice 5-0 in a week, once in the league & once in the cup. Not only that but Steve Chiqo Nichol scored a hat trick against Newcastle from right back!

It was the summer of 1987, I was 6 years old.

Up until then I had always kicked a ball around but knew hardly anything of the game, I was hanging around with some older cousins who were all wearing red shirts they told me that I could be in their team playing against other kids in the street, we were to be called Liverpool, while the other team were Arsenal.

My oldest cousin was about 10 and throughout the summer he boasted to be as good as a player called Ian Rush, and would often pretend to be him.

I remember staying over at their house and watching a programme late at night, (it was the first game of the 87-88 season) we were singing about Barnes and Beardsley the whole night after both scored on their debut in a win against Arsenal.

Throughout the next 2 years Liverpool FC soon became an obsession for me,

I grew up in Bradford most of my friends where either Bradford or Leeds fans, and at times it was hard.

However I remember dancing for joy when we beat Everton in the FA cup final

And I cried for the first time because of LFC but not the last (last time was a few weeks ago cause of the CL final) when Mickey Thomas won the league for Arsenal

Being so young the Hillsborough disaster was quite hard to fathom, only being a few years after the Bradford City fire I had other kids at school abusing me for supporting Liverpool . This is when I realised being a supporter of Liverpool was different than following any other team in the world. It came from the heart.

Even though I’m not a true Scouser I believe Liverpool Foot ball Club is in my blood and has been for over 20 years. My general mood is dictated by how well we’re playing.

I have a two year old son and even though I now live a stones throw away from the Emirates Stadium in North London I hope he will follow my love, (he already has 2 full kits)

Been a red since I was a nipper and I met Messrs Nicol, Barnes and co when they visited my village (I come from a village where Stevie Nicol's brother lives). I live in Scotland so dont get to many games. My biggest and best memory was when I went to Rome to watch us play in 2001 in the Uefa cup. Michael Owen scored twice in a 2-0 win (from what I remember). What made it even more interesting for me was the fact that I was in the Rome end amongst the Rome casuals. I was with an Italian friend who was also an LFC fan. That was a tasty experience - never spoke a word from start to finish, was wearing camouflage in the form of a Roma scarf and couldn't celebrate when we scored and won. I witnessed (approx 20 feet away) the Scandinavian LFC fan being stabbed in the back-side so, whereas my memories of the trip are mainly excellent, there was some not so nice memories as well.

well, it was the first soccer match i ever saw on tv when shearer and sutton were the fame SAS attack for blackburn and they were facing Liverpool. im not sure of the year but it in the early 90s when blackburn were top 2. then i saw Fowler. and since then whenever i played soccer i was always Fowler. imitated him. worship him. when he went to leeds i got a leeds jersey with ''fowler 27''. guess it was Fowler who got me hooked on the reds. still a fowler fan though ive more then one reason to support Liverpool now.
